71. O you who believe! Take up your weapons and set forth ( for Jihad), either in detachment or all together .139
72. And surely, among you there is some one who is hesitating, and if a disaster befalls you says: “Allah did favour me in that I was not present among them”.
73. And if grace from Allah comes to you, he says - as if there had not been any friendly relation between you and him. ’’Oh ! would that I had been with them, then I would have achieved a great success ! 140”
74. So let those, who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter,141 fight in the way of Allah. And whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious. We shall give him a great reward.
75. And why should you not fight in the way of Allah and for the sake of weak men, women and children, who cry: “Our Lord! Deliver us from this town, whose people are oppressors,142 and raise for us from You one who will protect; and raise for us from You one who will help.”
76. Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the way of Taghut 143 (Rebel). “So fight against the companions of Satan. Indeed, the scheme of Satan is ever weak 144.
139. In those days war was fought in two ways: one was an organised attack by the armed soldiers, and the second was of guerilla attacks by smaller units which was called ‘Sariyyah’ In this verse directions have been given to adopt both the methods. and the Prophet had used both these methods in his wars.
140. That is : These hypocrites do not regard the success of the muslims as their own success. Therefore. they feel sorry that muslims have come out victorious and they themselves have been deprived of having a share in the booty.
141. That is : Those persons who have given up this world for the Hereafter should offer themselves to fight in Jihad for Allah, only such people are sincere in their faith and are the mujahids in the cause of Allah. Those who keep dear the pleasures of this world in preference to the Hereafter, and do not want to offer any sacrifice for religion are not the ones who can take up Jihad.
142. At that time Muslims in Macca and in the surrounding localities were the butt of aggression of the infidels, only for the reason that they had embraced Islam. In other words, the infidels were not prepared to give freedom of conscience and religion to the Muslims. Even women and children were not safe from their acts of oppression. Quran has shown that to wage a war to free such oppressed people from the oppression of the tyrants is Jihad (fighting) in the cause of Allah.
143. Here Taghut means Satan. as is clear from the sentence that follows. To fight in the cause of Taghut is to fight for those false objectives for which Satan provokes men that is for opposing the religion of Allah, for weakening the believers, for enforcing the commands of men in place of the commands of God, for causing mischief and corruption on the earth instead of effecting reform and fighting with the intent of bringing victory to infidelity.
144. That is: Those who being influenced by the devil indulge in activities against Islam and its standard bearers. do not do so on any sound basis. Therefore if the people of Truth stand up to them and resist them then all their plans would go awry.
